Settings View Source Credo.Check.Warning.UnusedEnumOperation (Credo v1.7.0)

This check has a base priority of high and works with any version of Elixir.

explanation

Explanation

With the exception of Enum.each/2, the result of a call to the Enum module's functions has to be used.

While this is correct ...

def prepend_my_username(my_username, usernames) do
  valid_usernames = Enum.reject(usernames, &is_nil/1)

  [my_username] ++ valid_usernames
end

... we forgot to save the downcased username in this example:

# This is bad because it does not modify the usernames variable!

def prepend_my_username(my_username, usernames) do
  Enum.reject(usernames, &is_nil/1)

  [my_username] ++ valid_usernames
end

Since Elixir variables are immutable, Enum operations never work on the variable you pass in, but return a new variable which has to be used somehow (the exception being Enum.each/2 which iterates a list and returns :ok).
